Townhome purchasers prepare to move into One Oak at The Ridge this Fall
We are thrilled to be welcoming our very first group of residents to The Ridge in Nanaimo early this fall. Construction of the 16 townhomes, “One Oak” at The Ridge, will be completed early this fall. These boutique townhomes are set amongst leafy streets, inviting sidewalks, community trails, and extensive green space.
The townhomes at “One Oak” showcase traditional, elegant Craftsman style architecture cladded in natural materials such as stone and timber on the exterior, with contemporary open floor plans, high ceilings, and plenty of outdoor living space. High-end, energy-efficient steel appliances in the kitchen often serve as the main attraction for our visitors and buyers.
These16 Built Green® townhomes consist of three sets of floor plans: the “Madrona”, a 1,400 sq. ft. one-level, 2-bedroom; the “Alder”, a 1,700 sq. ft. two-level, 3-bedroom; and the “Hemlock”, a 2,000 sq. ft. two-level, 3-bedroom plus den. All five of the Madrona homes (including the show home) were sold out during our pre-sale, plus three of the Hemlock homes were sold.
The first release of townhomes is currently 50% sold out, exceeding our expectations in the Nanaimo market where pre-sales are unusual. Our sales team, Derek Gillette and Connie Hentschel, and their marketing team Urban Trending, have shown unwavering dedication to the sales and marketing success of The Ridge. In fact, Connie and her husband even purchased a Hemlock unit and will be one of the residents moving in this fall. Our contractor, Westmark Construction, has done an outstanding job of carrying out the construction smoothly and efficiently, delivering the product ahead of schedule and on budget. Our design team. led by our local Tsawwassen-based architect Peter Dandyk, has also done a great job in achieving Built Green certification.
Interior design firm Portico Design Group did an amazing job of furnishing the two show homes and raised the palate for sophisticated West Coast interior design in the Nanaimo market. Our sales team has received countless comments from visitors saying how much they loved the stylish décor of the homes.
Our Century Group in-house team consists of Jaime Schlackl, Marketing Manager and Randi Muchka, Development Coordinator. From leading marketing, managing social media, tracking sales, to resolving the smallest construction issues, Jaime and Randi contributed tremendously to the success of this project.
The current presale pricing of the remaining 8 townhomes will only last for another month, then prices will go up once we start our fall marketing campaign for the finished homes. Maybe it’s time to let your family and friends know, if they are interested and they can still benefit from the presale pricing!
